Re: Marvel Comics Discussion Thread!

Anyone else think that Lindy Reynolds is a Skrull? What with her miraculous recovery after Ultron killed her, and her asking Stark to find a way to kill Sentry. The Skrulls could have found a way to insert the Ultron program into Starks armour after they studied it in Illuminati 1. Then they could take control of all of the missiles and kill Lindy to make way for a skull impostor.

Y'know that makes the most sense, considering Brian Micheal Bendis (guy who is doing Might and New Avengers) is also writing Secret Invasion. Props for the discovery.

So Doc Doom is gathering up some heavy hitters. After Namor and his army joined him, Penance is looking like he might be the next ally... Also something is going on with feme-Loki.

To be honest I love this idea, Doom always struck me as the Spiderman/Captain America of villains, alongside Magneto, but Magneto was never as evil. I am really hoping Doom gets his own Masters of Evil going for whatever purposes.. (maybe even the Red Hulk!) and hurts some heroes that deserve it. Even more so, I'd love it if his team was the one to defeat the Skrulls, when the heroes fail, but I doubt that.. even though it technically isn't an act of good, since it's a planet wide attack and you can't rule a destroyed world..

Lastly I really want Runaways and Young Avengers to jump into this Skrull invasion horse soon, because the lack of their titles is getting stale, especially with Deadpool gone, there are no titles that just make me feel good anymore, even if bad things happen.

Re: Marvel Comics Discussion Thread!

y'know, ive never been big on the whole marvel universe. way too many heroes for me.
i like the movie versions cause there its always one person or s a small group of people that
takes the weight of the world on their shoulders. but the comics... ugh.... more heroes than you can count.

BUT!
ive read World War Hulk and i am now halfway through Civil War and i gotta tell ya. its good!
WWH rocked ass cause Hulk kicked everyones ass twice over.
and CW is a very very deep storyline. both sides have valid points. one second you sit and root for Iron Man and registration. the next you want Captain America to beat the living snot out of the pre reg bastards. and then youre back to Iron Man. very intriguing reading. (is that even a sentence?)

Re: Marvel Comics Discussion Thread!

Okay, so ever since moving here, I haven't really been updating myself with comics, and Ichi-san had already warned me about OMD. That's not to say I wasn't interested about what happened. So here I am off to Wikipedia...

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?! I am sooooo sorry for ranting, but WHY?! This is the worst shit ever! How the fuck are they going to frikkin' retcon it to everything?! Are the Spidey issues going to be in a different universe now?

And currently in other titles, when exactly did this happen?! I can't even continue reading the article anymore! DID JOE Q WRITE THIS?!

!#@$!@$#! What is it with Joe Q and marriages?! Why the heck could he not have gone for Storm and T'Challa's?!!

GOOD LORD! I feel like punching the keyboard! Or Joe Q! NGAH. *goes look for a better place to rant*

Okay. This is so wrong, and...this is a whole lot depressing than House of M got me. At least House of M (despite having involved magic) only seemed to have changed the present. NOT...not YEARS OF WORKING on one of the best (if not the best) character Marvel usually has to freakin' offer! And they put everything together quite all right, seeing how it involved the whole universe!

But one title?! This is not what I'm used to reading! D:

NGAH.
*sobs hysterically*

Well...I'm just glad they're finally writing down a new Young Avengers title. I didn't know how long I could go without it (which...I have done already o.O) but yeah.

Oh, and X Men.

I'm not sure how to really react to what just happened, but...I can't really complain since it wasn't as bad as I thought of Spidey's. Still. I feel like punching Scott. And I thought the writers promised that this arc would be the *one* that got everyone off Scott's back.

All it really did was make me want to stab it, and rub salt. I digress, though...the turn of events over at the X Factor side, and it's revelations. Wow. Didn't really see that coming. I'm still impressed with everything to do with the X Men though

And I'm really really really really sad that they're stopping New X Men (annoyed, to be honest). I liked the younger teams together. I never really thought much about half of them joining the older X Men. And in other teams, too D:

Still.

Avengers (all of 'em) is still really interesting Really enjoying it so far.

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd....

hee. If Lohnt isn't afraid to let any of you know of his liking for ASM, I'd like to do the same with Iron Man. Really. XD I'm enjoying his book so far, and I really dig the writing. It's my current favourite And like I've stated in the past, I don't think Tony's evil *dodges bullets and daggers* And this is not because Maria Hill is in the books (though that's how it did start off as)! XD

Re: Marvel Comics Discussion Thread!

Joss Whedon, the current Runaway's writer is the slowest guy ever. Though his work on Astonishing X-men makes me think that I can trust his Runaway's arc.

The Boff is going to have to read Captain America if he is to understand his death, considering the Captain doesn't die in Civil War... And well Captain America is an awesome title. Oh and disgruntled Spidey fans should check out Ultimate Spiderman, a very good read and at least you don't have to worry about retcons.

Re: Marvel Comics Discussion Thread!

He ddin't die in Civil War, but in Captain America #25. He was jailed at the end of Civil War, though.

But manu's right. You should read Captain America, since it's an awesome title Especially with the new Cap (<333333333333333333)

manu: Y4eah, I really enjoy the Ultimate Spidey title It's sooo much fun, whenever I get tired of Emo Spidey, I just head over to the Ultimate. XD Too bad they brought Beast back in Ult. X Men though. I honestly thought they'd stop all this revivial thing in the Ultimates =_= Still won't stop reading the book, though...

Re: Marvel Comics Discussion Thread!

hold on here. Cap died from the assassination on the steps to the courtroom where he was going to answer for his action during the civil war, right? thats what i read in the civil war pack i downloaded and thats what wikipedia said as well. so now im thouroghly confused here.

ah now it hit me. as i said i downloaded a pack with ALL tie ins to civil war and read them in the order the play out. you guys are talking about the comicbooks that had the civil war tag on them. am i right?
